I was really enjoying running outside these past 2 weeks and was actually excited to do this mornings workout, but I woke up to snow! I'll just wait until tomorrow and hopefully the weather will have cleared up.

i started W2 Sunday morning. it was the first warm day of spring here, so that was a change. i hate hot temps, so im not looking forward to running in the summer. hopefully ill be in better shape and it wont bother me as much, but being hot sucks.

W2 is a nice step up. running for 90 seconds is definitely a bit tougher than 60. still going well though.

I tried it before and cheated a bunch. I tried just going by my watch, but I never really DID it. I did run a 5k at the end and sucked at it.

But THIS TIME I downloaded an app. You can play music and a nice lady's (or dude's if you want) voice tells you when to run and when to walk and when to warm up / warm down and tells you little inspirational things. It's the perfect mix of accountability and motivation.

HUZZAH. I'm OUT.

Is this the paid app? I have the C25K lite on android, but it just dings at me. It would totally be worth paying for someone to tell me what to do; I get confused with the cool down bits.

There are several, and most of them are 2.99. Some include GPS, but this one doesn't. I didn't feel like I needed it. It kind of came down to the one I liked most design-wise. And yes, it talks to you. Male or female. Tells you what to do, tells you when you're halfway through the workout. I recommend it.

also, WTG on getting through it this morning!

the runkeeper app is free, but youll have to input the intervals into the program, and itll tell you when to walk, when to run, warm up cool down etc. itll also play music if you want. its what i use, and it keeps track of all your distances, times, etc.
